Some help in choosing software?

VLC Media Player better or UMPlayer ?

AVG better or Avast ?

Piriform Defraggler better or Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro ? UltraDerfrag

IDM better or DAP ?

ManyCam better or WebCamMax ?

Nitro Reader 3 Pro better or Adobe Acrobat X/XI ?

XnView better or IrfanView ?

Firefox better or IE9 ?

Winrar better or WinZip 7Zip

Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Bungee18, thanks and you seem quite a fan of Open Source. I know I am!

btw I went to UltraDefrag website, but their UI is not least impressive. Half my software discisions are based on UI's.

Forget the UI on UltraDefrag. Their command line support rocks and boot time defragmenting is unbeatable.
Install and modify boot time scrip to:

udefrag -o C:

Then run an elevated command prompt and type:

boot-on

Then reboot.

Then tell me if you still care about the UI.

This way you optimize a couple of times a year and that's it.

Believe me, you should give it a try.
Hope it helps,

OK, I'm doing something on my Laptop, when I'm finished I'll try that and post.
